The exact details of the switch need to be worked out, but Walter and Andrei 
are on board.  We're looking at at least a couple of months until the next 
release, which should be plenty of time to finalize this.  No guarantees of 
course, we all still have to agree on a way to do it.

The switch will only happen once all three compilers are ready.  Automatic 
conversion will let us test and release official D versions of DMD in 
parallel without the sources getting out of sync.
